Former NBC tv host Billy Bush accused U.S. President Donald Trump of “indulging in some revisionist historical past” for reportedly telling allies it was not his voice making lewd remarks as the lads waited to movie a phase for “Entry Hollywood” in 2005.

“He mentioned it. ‘Seize ’em by the p___y,’” Bush wrote in an editorial revealed within the New York Instances on Sunday.

The New York Instances reported final month that Trump has been privately telling aides and allies, together with at the very least one U.S. senator, that the voice on the recording was not his.

That might be a reversal from his instant acknowledgment of duty after the tape surfaced weeks forward of the 2016 presidential election. Trump mentioned: “I mentioned it, I used to be flawed, and I apologize.”

Reuters has not been in a position to confirm the Instances report that he has been privately telling allies a distinct story.

The White Home didn’t instantly reply to a request for touch upon Bush’s remarks. However White Home spokeswoman Sarah Sanders performed down the Instances report at a White Home briefing on Nov. 27.

“The President hasn’t modified his place. I feel if something that the president questions, it is the media’s reporting on that accuracy,” Sanders mentioned.

Bush laughed on the video as Trump spoke and he misplaced his job as a bunch of NBC’s flagship morning “As we speak” present after the tape was leaked to the media in October, upending Trump’s marketing campaign to change into president.
